WORD Research this...Proverbs 16
- 1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.
- 2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weighs the spirits.
- 3 Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established.
- 4 The LORD has made all things for himself: yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
- 5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
- 6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
- 7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
- 8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
- 9 A man's heart devises his way: but the LORD directs his steps.
- 10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresses not in judgment.
- 11 A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
- 12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
- 13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaks right.
- 14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
- 15 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favor is as a cloud of the latter rain.
- 16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
- 17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keeps his way preserves his soul.
- 18 Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
- 19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
- 20 He that handles a matter wisely shall find good: and whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he.
- 21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increases learning.
- 22 Understanding is a wellspring of life to him that has it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
- 23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
- 24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
- 25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
- 26 He that labors labors for himself; for his mouth craves it of him.
- 27 An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
- 28 A fraudulent man sows strife: and a whisperer separates chief friends.
- 29 A violent man entices his neighbor, and leads him into the way that is not good.
- 30 He shuts his eyes to devise fraudulent things: moving his lips he brings evil to pass.
- 31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
- 32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city.
- 33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
